When I was in a similar situation, a very wise man on this forum gave me very good advice. He said not to settle for the watch you can afford now because it's more expensive in the long run.

I am assuming you meant to say "settle for the watch you can afford now because it's more expensive in the long run."
Following something along this line, I'm more and more sure I'll be going for the chronograph, white face.
Sorry I wasn't clear. The idea is this: let's say that you are considering two watches, one more expensive than the other. You really want the more expensive watch but at the moment it is slightly beyond reach. You,like the less expensive watch and can afford it now. So you buy the less expensive one. The problem is that you really wanted the more expensive one and continue to lust after it. Eventually you have to buy it. So now you've spent more than if you had bought the more expensive watch to begin with so buying the one you really want, rather than settling for the one you can afford, may be the better financial move.
Obviously, I don't know if this applies in your case but it's worth thinking about. It certainly saved me from making a misstep.

Hello everybody - my first post in this forum !
I've got both, port chrono and port auto. I've started my IWC adventure with the Chrono 3 years ago and then bought this year 2 autos, one of which is the same replica as the Chrono (metal, strap color and dial). I love both, design and elegance, but i have to admit that i found the auto more complete....dońt forget the back. I love removing the watch and looking at the back: what a beautiful movement !
